    His spirit is absolutely amazing. I love his shorts and watching him interact with other peoples dogs and maybe talk to him as if they were his own is always a joy to watch as a pet owner myself his spirit, purity and joy for what he does definitely spreads happiness all throughout.

    He should make it into a service of doing dog profiles for owners ,capturing their dogs character in a collection of photos and maybe do something for kids and dogs. Should also set up a patreon page to fund his work and eventually appear on tv etc..and he should get a dog with a beautiful owner !
    He could do his service at events ..say dog shows and carnivals or festivals as a service to make people smile and appreciate their dogs

      A simple Google search revealed this: "A graduate of Boston University, Friedman worked in brand strategy before getting laid off. He took advantage of his newfound freedom by launching and selling a company called WeFollow and starting a comedy web series called Barking at Dogs, in which he and a friend “interviewed” various dogs around the city. He then woke up in the middle of the night about two years ago, wondering if anyone had thought of creating the Sartorialist, a popular fashion street photography blog, for dogs....Just like that, The Dogist was born. The boxer from Vienna, along with a brindle frenchie he spotted in Williamsburg, were his first posts....Soon, the Huffington Post and BuzzFeed had published some of his work."

    I don't understand. If he feels so lonely why doesn't he get a dog (or any pet)? Is it because that his work demands much time & that he would be unable to look after it? or is there something else?

      @ev9329 7 лет назад +3

      I find loneliness for most part a lot better than sticking to people that continuously don't understand you, nor wish to. I feel like most people that describe hating 'people' in general, feel that way ... maybe?
      Just the majority of people have very little interest it seems like in truly understanding other people. And I guess it's hypocritical in a way to give up on them for that.
      In the end, everyone should be hopeful of meeting someone that personality-wise fits and has equal interest of understanding. Just very rare I think.
